Greening Your Home

Help the Environment, Save Energy, Water and Money

Whatever type of homes we live in, we can all take actions to make them greener, healthier and more comfortable places to live.

The Greening Your Home guide will provide you with information that will help you put into practice ideas and approaches for renovating your home in an environmentally sensitive way. Positive changes can be made in many ways, from changing a light bulb or your boiler to larger scale renovation works, and opportunities will arise over time as you gradually repair, extend, rebuild and replace parts of your home.

The information in this guide will help you to:

• Save energy and money
• Save water and reduce water pollution
• Choose environmentally sound materials
• Reduce your household waste
• Live in a healthier more comfortable home
• Improve your garden and enhance biodiversity
• Find sources of further information
• Find sources of funding for greening your home

Renewable Energy

Climate change is a key environmental challenge today. Energy used in our homes contributes almost half of all carbon emissions in Haringey. The council encourages all residents to take steps to use energy wisely and to consider the use of renewable energy technologies in their homes. Living in a conservation area or a listed building means that you need to pay attention to the special character of your property when considering energy conservation and use of renewable energy.

Below you will find information on appropriate ways to install renewable energy systems without impacting upon the special character of your property.

Use of Renewable Energy systems in Historic Buildings and Conservation Areas guide is in the attached file section below.
